GOAL: Exceed CRED Pledge by 25%• Key focus Areas:
– Building Efficiency– Plant(s) Efficiency– Carbon profile of campus fuel mix– Focus on zero carbon fuels (ie solar)
• Possible Metrics1: – lbs of CO2 / kWh in 10 years– lbs of CO2 / kWh in 25 years2
– lbs of CO2 / kWh in 50 years2
Energy Generation & Consumption
1. CRED pledge is based on a per capital number, this metric promotes the use of CO2 / kWh to simplify calculation and tracking
2. Value in these metric categories should continually decrease

Energy Generation & ConsumptionMasterplanning Guidelines - Plan for Combined Heat and Power (CHP)- Allow for changing technologies in system design
- Provide shared utility corridors for transportation and utilities.
- Provide back-up power as a centralized utility- Use hot water as distribution source whenever possible to minimize losses
- Locate chiller plants as close as practical to high density cooling loads
- Provide adequate buffer around CHP plants to avoid disturbance of campus and residential occupants
- Locate CHP plant with easy access for fuel deliveries
